Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Run Without Care”
tiān dì yōu yōu guò kè cōng cōng
天 地 悠 悠 过 客 匆 匆
High heaven, vast earth, travelers rushing
cháo qǐ yòu cháo luò
潮 起 又 潮 落
Tides rise then fall
ēn ēn yuàn yuàn shēng sǐ bái tóu
恩 恩 怨 怨 生 死 白 头
Gratitude, grudges, life, death; until the hair turns gray
jǐ rén néng kàn tòu
几 人 能 看 透
Only few people can see through
hóng chén ā gǔn gǔn chī chī ā qíng shēn
红 尘 啊 滚 滚 痴 痴 啊 情 深
Mortal affairs surging; lost in the abyss of love
jù sàn zhōng yǒu shí
聚 散 终 有 时
There are times we congregate and times when we disperse
liú yī bàn qīng xǐng liú yī bàn zuì
留 一 半 清 醒 留 一 半 醉
One part sober, one part intoxicated
zhì shǎo mèng lǐ yǒu nǐ zhuī suí
至 少 梦 里 有 你 追 随
At least in dream there’s you accompanying me
wǒ ná qīng chūn dǔ míng tiān
我 拿 青 春 赌 明 天
I use my youth to gamble for tomorrow
nǐ yòng zhēn qíng huàn cǐ shēng
你 用 真 情 换 此 生
You use your true feelings to exchange for this life
suì yuè bú zhī rén jiān duō shǎo de yōu shāng
岁 月 不 知 人 间 多 少 的 忧 伤
Time is unaware of how much mortal world is suffering
hé bú xiāo sǎ zǒu yī huí
何 不 潇 洒 走 一 回
Why not take each stride with grace
tiān dì yōu yōu guò kè cōng cōng
